I let the plumber in my house while I was at work.....?

when I got home things seemed different. I came home to no electricity (there was a fuse blown.) My bedroom door was open (I left it shut.) My icons on my computer were moved around when I started my computer back up. Does it seem like something is strange here, or is it just me? Has anything like this... show more when I got home things seemed different. I came home to no electricity (there was a fuse blown.) My bedroom door was open (I left it shut.)

Update: the plumber has been in my house before when I wasn't here and once I even came home when he didn't expect me. He wasn't doing anything wrong (just working on the plumbing) he is someone that my landlord knows and trust.

Best Answer: There are a lot of questions to this. Did the power go out while the plumber was there or after he left? He should have called you right away if it went out while he was there. If the power went out once while he was there he might have reset the breaker and looked in your bedroom to see the power came on all the rooms because different fuses control different sections of your place. The icons may have been mixed up because of the power surge but unlikely if you have a surge protector on your computer where it plugs in. I don't know what type of fuses you have the old screw in type that actually blow out and have to be replaced or the breaker type that can be reset. I would call his company or him to find out what happened though and check to see if your valuables are still there. I trust my maintenance man but you just never know. Hope things turn out ok.

I don't mean to seem rude but you have to expect that sort of thing if you let a stranger into your house. I'm not saying it is right, I feel sorry for you, it is such a violation for someone to do that. But to be honest don't even let cleaners into your hotel room when you are not there (I used to work in a hotel). I agree that you should call the company and just be more careful next time. Also check if anything is missing.

OMG!! Did you check your home good to make sure nothing was missing? Call the company and report it right away! Maybe even the Better Business Bureau. NEVER leave someone in your home alone you don't know.
